Chapter 7 - Alcohols and Ethers

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Alcohols   have general formula R-OH; high bp cuz of H bonding  
🗑
Chem is FON (fun)   F, O, and N do Hydrogen bonding  
🗑
Acids   have high Ka's but small pKa's  
🗑
How to increase acidity   resonance, electron withdrawing groups  
🗑
How to decrease acidity   electron donating groups  
🗑
Reduction   from carboxylic acid to aldehyde to primary alcohol or from ketone to secondary alcohol  
🗑
Oxidation   1. from primary alcohol to aldehyde to carboxylic acid (more bonds to O means more oxidized) 2. secondary alcohol to ketone  
🗑
OH   is a terrible leaving group and must be protonated to form water to go through SN1 rxn  
🗑
alcohols   can be converted to tosylate group which makes it go thru SN2 rxn  
🗑
Oxidation of OH's   usually includes a form of chromium (chromium with lots of O2 means oxidation)  
🗑
Sodium/Potassium dichromate salt   oxidizes primary OH to COOH  
🗑
Jones Reagent   CrO3, sulfuric acid, acetone--primary OH to COOH or secondary OH to ketone  
🗑
Ether   compound with two alkyl groups bonded to an O2 atom; ROR  
🗑
Ether properties   low bp cause no H bonding; slightly polar, slightly water soluble  
🗑
Williamson ether synthesis   synthesis of ethers by alkoxides displacing halides via SN2  
🗑
MCPBA   leads to oxirane (epoxide)  
🗑
Peroxides   highly explosive compounds ROOR  
🗑
Key Ether Rxn   1. epoxide formation 2. SN1, most substituted and SN2, least sub; Williamson ether synthesis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
